Dr.Seuss and Persona – Mozilla at Webvisions Barcelona

Last week Webvisions, a 3 day conference covering everything UX and web lured a few hundred enthusiasts to the sunny Barcelona. Mozilla sent Crystal Beasley and Chris Heilmann to talk about logging into the web with Persona and the future of the web.

Having watched The Lorax on the flight over, and seeing that the audience consisted of a lot of parents we thought it a good idea to write the “Future of HTML5 and the web” talk in the style of Dr. Seuss so people can read to their kids and reflect on what we tried to convey at the same time. Many thanks also to Eric Shepherd for some rhyming help.

The audience reaction was very positive and we found out that when you rhyme your talk it flows much faster. The 45 minute slot was 20 minutes of our talk and another 25 minutes explaining in detail what we covered in a Q&A.

All in all Webvisions was a great event and watch out for videos of the other talks being available soon and other slides on the web.
